This year’s Pyramid Rock Festival on Phillip Island in Victoria will be remembered by me not only as a paddock full of beer cans and flocks of seagulls. It will instead be remembered as the New Years Eve that someone threw a basketball at Dominic Simper of Tame Impala’s face. But let’s go back to the beginning, a time of sobriety and a lot less violence.

Australian disc homeboys Van She have been pretty busy and spending a lot of their time these days in the air. They took some time out to play and hang out at the Australian Logitech UE launch at Oxford Art Factory last week and sent everyone in the building to the dancefloor with their new headphones on. El spoke to Michael of Van She about what the hap is!

You’ve just been on a huge tour and you haven’t really stopped, how are you feeling?
